On Wednesday evening, illegal paramilitary Israel colonizers attacked Palestinian farmers on their lands in the Wad Rahhal area, south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, and shot five.

Media sources said the colonizers invaded Palestinian lands in Khallet An-Nahla and burnt the farmlands before the locals rushed to extinguish the fire.

They added that the colonizers opened fire at Palestinians, wounding five, and attacked an ambulance and its crew who rushed to the area.

Israel soldiers, who were present in the area, also attacked ambulances while trying to prevent them from reaching the wounded Palestinians.

Furthermore, the soldiers closed Wad Rahhal village and the Khallet An-Nahla area, preventing the Palestinians from entering or leaving them.
